10/16/26 - Alphabet Challenge (M for Motivational) - Pop Up Petal card

Happy Friday! Today at Alphabet Challenge we are doing M for Motivational card. I found a cute sentiment I want to use for this card and make it into a fall feel card. I used the flower image and sentiment from Pop Up Petal and colored it in with reinkers and Blender pen. I added a really cute twine and some dots. I also tried to use Wink a Stella on the flower. I hope you enjoyed this creation and please join us at the challenge.

10/5/26 - Make My Monday #288 Fall / A Place to Start October 2026 ATG (Spotlight) - Fern & Floral

Happy Monday and welcome to October! Today is my son's birthday and I am sharing a card at Make My Monday (Fall) and A Place To start (ATG - Spotlight). I went with a big Fern image in black and used a negative 1" circle template and sponge it with Daring Duckling, but sadly, I didn't use enough color, so the spotlight circle is very faint, but you get the idea. Then whatever is within that yellow circle, I colored the ferns with Watercolor Pencils and used Blender Pen to smooth out the lines. I paired it with a background DSP with fall colors. I hope you enjoyed this card and be sure to join us at the challenges.
